UNC Holds Off Late Syracuse Rally for Fourth Straight Win
North Carolina Tar Heels extended a four-game winning streak with key performances including a 20-point game by Wilson and a 12th double-double by Henri Veesaar.
- The Tar Heels closed out Syracuse 87-77 on Monday night after building a 32-point lead and finishing at the free-throw line.
- Back-to-Back 3s by Veesaar and Powell gave UNC a first-double digit lead at 23-12, and a 12-0 run opened a 46-32 halftime margin.
- Caleb Wilson led UNC with 22 points and nine rebounds, reaching 20 points for the 16th time, while Henri Veesaar recorded his ACC-leading 12th double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds as Naithan George added 15 points.
- The result boosts UNC's momentum and Syracuse dropped its fifth loss in six games with Donnie Freeman scoring 23, as they prepare for Saturday.
